iitas expected lo sail about the beginning of August. An action for libel had been brought by Dr. Halloran against a Mr. Ball for writing letters impeaching his integrity. The plaintiff is the Master of the Sydney Free Grammar School. The Jury found a verdict of One »chilling damages, without costs.--A valuable stud of horses, be longing to Mr. Piesely bad been sold for I ,2ool.—Numerous rob beries continued to be committed in Van Dieman's Land. Two Gentlemen, a Messrs. J. and E. Bryant, who had been in the colony only a few months, had lost 140 fine woolled sheep, a Mr. Bedgsen, 130, and Mr. Jones, of Jericho, 400. Two persons, named Farquharson, of the Clyde, and Wright, of York Plains, have been committed for sheep-stealing, which seems quite a common crime. Some of the natives had become troublesome, and had attacked in numbers a Mr. Browning, in the Macqua rrie district, whom they had murdered. Consider able discussion had taken place on the subject of the new Bank at Sydney. The Bank of Austrlilia was to open for public business on the Ist of July. Serious misunderstandings existed between the acting membros and 'officers of the Tarmanian Agricultural Company. The biekerings of the parties hare been so great as to go e, g rea t w a y towards interfering in a mate. tid manner with the. interests of that Company in the sister Co lony. Writings hat.% been resorted to, and mutual accusations have been pat on Mack and white, and the Directors will hare a beautiful budget to open on the return of the Cape packet. A new river had l',een supposed to be discovered, one of the branches of which mingled with the sea above Trial Bay, to the northward of Port Matrquarrie ; it, however, turns out only a chain of lakes er rather l goons, extending from 20 to 30 miles west, to within 10 mile, 'of the sea shore.

P ork Captain Salmon has made some important discoveries of the 'coral Reefi near Cape York, on his passage from Sydney to Cal. tuft& : they are said to be es much as 200 miles in extent. Re got in between them, and so near that he could hive jumped out of the vessel, on one of them on each side; considerable culties were calculated would arise from the introduction of stirling coin in the colony, for although it is admitted, any evil would be more than counterbalanced by its good effects, still the sum put out to effect this purpose, was estimated as too small to put it in effectual execution. Twenty-five per cent. premium had been offered for good bills upon London. An action has been tried at Sydney, brought by Mr. Robert CarnPll6l, a passenger in the Howard Castle, against the Cap tain o i l' that vessel, and after much conflicting testimony on thit asihiect of the warrants, the Jury found a verdict for the defendant. Mr. Gillibrand had published a book, containing nearly 200 ;pa g es, exhibiting at full the proceedings which led to his auspen *ion from the duties of his office, including a list of the charges !made against him. From these documents it appears the pro ceedings have been taking up much valuable time, which might have been more profitably employed by the graver functionaries o the sister Colony. The accounts from New Soath Wales express much uneasiness from the state of the pecuniary concerns of the Sydney Bank, in that Colony, and an application had been made to the Governor for assistance. It seems, that if they did not actually stop, they .were at least without the means of paying in specie, and the President at a Meeting of the Bank Proprietors, announced to the Court, that his Excellency the Governor had come to the determination of granting a loan of 20,000!. in British coin, provided the va cancies in the direction of that establishment were filled up by certain Gentlemen then tuned--Messrs. Lithgow and Mr. Jones were accordingly elected by an immense majority, and the motion for accepting the loan of 20,000/. on the sum proposed was also carried by an immense majority. Had this notbeen done, the utmost distress would have taken place, and every thing thrown into confusion. Among other propositions on font was one of sending a mercantile Gentleman from New South Wales to London, on helical of the proprietors, to negotiate a loan of 50,0004 in aid of the funds of that Institution, for a term of years. The American Papers received this morning to the 20th August, state that accounts hiul been received in Colombia from Bolivar, in which he expresses great dissatisfaction at the political differences between Santander and General Paez. The movements of the latter are stated to be severely animadverted upon, and General Paez is also mentioned to have left Valencia on this intelligence being received. Private letters received from Fero], 'state, that a 74 ship of the line,and a 40 gun frigate, with several smaller vessels, laden with *ll kinds of stores, were on the eve of sailing for the Havaunah. THE FUNDS. CITY, Twelve o' Clock. The English Market has been rather flat, Consols opened at 1 401 but have receded to 80k, sellers are now buyers. In the Foreign Market considerable hustle has taken place in Mexican Bonds, caused by the receipt of a letter, addressed by a passenger landed at Portsmouth from the Emmelitae, bound from New York for Havre, which sailed from thence on the 29th Aug. This gentleman has written that information bad been received the day prior to their sailing, that intelligence had arrived of the landing between 5 and 8,000 troops from the Havannah, at or near Tam pico; the consequence of which has been a reduction in price of 2 per Cent., in this security. The report is not generally credited, although the party who brings it is a gentleman of the first charac ter : that something of the kind has happened may be true, but not to the extant stated. Another point is the period of ite arrival, the 28th August; at New York, as we have arrivals from the Havannah of the Bth Aug., at which time Commodore La borde's squadron was quietly in port; and it is said that it would he impossible for a fleet to go from the Havannah down to the Mexican coast and accounts be received at New York in 21 days. The effect is gradually wearing off, and Mexican Bonds are re covering their former price, they are now 61i 2. This account has absorbed all the attention of speculators this morning, and every Other security has been unattended to in consequence. Shares are without business, and scarce a price quoted.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - ---• am one of those unfortunate mortals with whom *Very thing goes wrong; whether in matters of import ance or those of a trifling nature, the tide invariably sets against me, and I have to fight against difficulties which would have subdued any man whose spirit of perseverance •was not at least equal to the current of misfortune with which he has to contend. Still, Mr. Editor, lam not a grumbler, but, on the contrary, when a cessation of diffi culties occurs, I consider it an event calculated • not only to elevate my spirits, but to excite my gratitude. A favourable occurrence I view as an interposition of Heaven, and having brought my mind to a state of compla cency tinder perpetual difficulties, find in a temporary' relief from the pressure of adverse circumstances, perhaps more happiness than those who invariably sail on the stream of prosperity. The adverse as well as prosperous circum stances of my life, however, I endeavour to convert to some purpose; and if n 9 other object is gained than em ployment, I have the satisfaction of not being idle, which to me is a greater punishment than work to a Chinese. It is from the combination of these causes and effects that you are troubled with this letter, and if you do not choose to insert it, no other evil will arise to you than the loss of 10 minutes of your time, and to me nothing but the occurrence of another proof of my want of success. Having premised thus much, I must inform you, that after months of incessant application to business, I deter mined to make a holiday for a few days, hired it vessel, and sailed this morning from Blackwell for Margate. Of course, the wind was against me,and scarcely, Mr. Editor, had we got under weigh,wh en the tide of the river, imitating the current of events of my life, came against me, and obliged us to anchor to wait the turn of the tide (as I have done all my life) till the evening (of my days, I suppose) ; and here we 'are in a place they call Bugsby's Hole, with mud banks and marshes on both sides, and gibbets and hanging pirates, to remind one of mortality as wail as misfortune, with, how ever, a pleasing prospect in the distance, which I would fain hope I may also apply to my own case. To what purpose can I devote myself here ? To none but to write to you, not Mr. Editor, with the object of describing the view on each side of the river , but that which ex i sts upon it; not to compl a i n o f the bad, but to express gratification at the pleasing prospects which surround me. You, Mr. Editor, advocate free trade, and the opening of the ports for corn ; and your views on this, as on most other subjects, correspond with those I entertain. Judge then what must be my delight at seeing the practical effect of that relaxation of our Navigation Laws, and of that partial opening of the ports, which had already taken place, under which the benefits of reciprocal trade are diffused among all maritime nations, while the eventual ad vantage to ourselves infinitely predominates. Here, Mr. Edi tor, since I have been windbound for a few hours, hundreds of vessels of all nations have passed me. The bosom of father Thames is actually covered with ships, bringing the commodities of other countries to our island, and taking back in return, the produce of our industry and capital.— Articles of necessity, is well as of luxury, are pouring in ; while those that are taken away, are equally contributory to our wealth and greatness. The trade of other nations is permitted to exist with that carried on in our own ships, while the latter increases in a greater ratio in proportion to the former, and thus we have the gratifying and ho nourable feeling of allowing other Countries to share with us the happy fruits of peace, not only without injury, but actually with advantage to ourselves. If, Mr. Editor, you could escape from your dusty room, and sail down the Thames, your would on your return ad. vacate still more zealously than heretofore, the advantages of a free trade, and would admit that Old England is stir the centre of the trade, as she has long:been the envy, o the other nations of the earth. Your constant Reader, been found. The prisoner then said, " Aye, and you think to find the watch too, don't you ?" witness added, we hope so. Sophia Richardson, wife of a working man at Padding ton—Was engaged in no business, but on the 28th July was sent for to assist the watchhouse-keeper's wife, being ill at the time. On the 29th, was on the leads of the watch-house, aid - beard Johnson say, "We are done at last—l am a deafflnetn, the pawnbroker will do for me." This he addressed to thcpung woman. She replied— " Never mind, if the clothe", are found ; I shall go with you, and hope we shall meet again in another world. Cross-examined by Mr. ANDREWS--.lt was accidentally that she hearilthii conversation. The deputy keeper of the watchhouse, at Paddington, stated, that on the 30th the male prisoner desired to speak to him at three different times. On these occasioree he said, "do you think I shall be hung? I only prised the door open; I struck nobody, and therefore I don't think I shall be hung; but it is done and cannot be undone. The prisoners denied the charge; said they had always worked hard, and had had witnesses to their characters attending for the last four or'five days, but being le poor circumstan ces, were not abl e t o attend also to:day. Mr. ANDR&WS now submitted' that the capital charge was not proved. The Act of Parliament, making a theft in an uninhabited house a capital offence, meant that no person whatever should be in the house; and in the pre sent case the prosecutrix only occupied apart of the house; that the elder Allender occupied the. other part; that it was highly probable she was in the house when the rob bery took place; that it was for the prosecutrix to prove the contrary, which had not been done; and that, there fore, this was not an unoccupiM dwelling-house. Mr. Sergeant A RABIN was qu i te o f a contrary op i n i on. He considered that the Statute was used for the protec tion of poor people, who were obliged to leave their homes to gain their daily livelihood; and the question was, whether a poor person's lodging was not his dwelling house. The Court's opinion was, that the apartment of a lodger was his dwelling -house. Besides; if the Jury were satisfied that the prisoners were guilty, and believed the prosecutrix, when she swore t h at t h e property sto l en , was worth 41., te offence would then he capital, as it would be stealing in a dwelling-house to an amount above 40s. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN summed up, and The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty of the capital offence!, against all the prisoners —Death. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT and a London Jury.) EMBEZZLEMENT. Philip Hartley stood indicted for embezzlement. Mr. PHILLIPS stated the case. The prisoner he said had been a confidential servant of Mr. Pearce, of Ludgate street, a lamp-manufacturer; his business was principally to collect debts, and in that capacity he violated the trust re posed in him, by converting to his own use money which he had received on account of his employer. Thomas Pearce examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—Was a lamp-manufacturer, 12, Ludgate-street ; the prisoner was his confidential servant, whose duty it was to collect debts, and attend in the shop. Mr. Vanseller was a customer of his, and a debtor to the amount of 1/. 68.6 d.; witness sent to Mr. Vanseller for that sum on the 10th of August, who returned for answer that he had paid it to the prisoner ; witness then asked the prisoner about it, who denied hav ing received it, but came next morning, acknowledged that he had received it, and et the same time offered the sum, which witness declined to take. Cross-examined by Mr. ANDREWS—The prisoner had been eleven months in his employ; kept a book for enter ing the debts 'received, but he did not refer to it when witness first asked him about Mr. Vanseller's debt. Henry Sharp, examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—Wm a ser vant in the employ of Mr. Vanseller; did not remember paying the sum in the indictment to the prisoner; knew nothing of the transaction, except that the debt had been paid to some person. There being no evidence to connect the prisoner with the receipt of the debt he was acquitted; and put on his trial for another Jalapr charge, that of embezzling the sum of 21. 17s. 64. the amotuit of a debt due to the prosecutor, from the house of Stephens, Woods, and Wilkinson. The prosecutor stated, that on the morning that the. above charge had been made, he found a slip of paper on the ground, having the name of Stephens, Woods, and Co., and 21. 17s. 6d. written on it. This excited his sus. picion, and on inquiry, he fo un d th at t h e pr i soner h a d re . ceivecthat sum also on his account. Cross-examined by Mr. ANDREWS—The above sum had been entered in the memorandum, or receipt book. A friend of the prisoner's offered to pay it to witness next day. George Toss was a clerk in the house of Stephens, Wood, and Co.; did not know the prisoner; remembered paying the Sum of 2L 17e. 6d. to some person from Mr. Pearce; did not know who that person was; but had re ceived the receipt which he now produced, from the per son to whom he gave the money. The above receipt was admitted to be the hendwriting of the prisoner. Mr. Pearce re-examined by a Juror—The receipt for the 2/. 17s. 6d. was dated the 22d ofJuly; that sum was not offered to witness until the 16th of August, fire days after the prisoner had been taken into custody, on the first charge. By the COURT—Had received several stabs from the prisoner between the 22d of July and the 10th of Au gust, but could not recollect any particular SUM Or date. The prisoner being called on for his defence, handed in a written statement, denying any intention to defraud the prosecutor,'and attributing the non-payment of the above sums to inadvertency. George Capes examined by Mr. ANDREWS—Was bro ther-in-law of the prisoner; re c ollected having received 2/. 7s. 6d. from the p r i soner on t h e morn i ng o f the day on w hi c h he had been taken into custody. This was previouily to the ar rest of the prisoner, but subsequent to the charge of the first embezzlement having been made; prisoner did not tell witness what the money was for; witness told the prose cutor the subsequent day that he had received the above sum from the poisoner ; Mr. Pearce refused to take it. Several persons gave the prisoner an excellent character. The COMMON SERGEANT briefly summed up. Ver diet—Guilly. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Pvelsourn, Ssrr. 21.—}1. S.

(Before Mr. Sergeant A.AAIIIN. and a Middlesex Jury.) The business of the Court was delayed for a quarter of an hour in consequence of the absence of a Juryman (Mr. Bragg), who was fined by the Court. Mr. Bragg, when he arrived, said he had been taken very ill, and it was by a great struggle that he had been able to attend at all. The COURT said, a quarter of an hour was of great im portand at this period of the Sessions, but it would take off the line. James Girdy was indicted for stealing in a dwelling. house, on the 28th of July last, a silver watch, r►bbon and seals. The prisoner's witness gave him an excellent character; he had been a great many years in the army, and a servant to the paymaster of the regiment to which he belonged.— Not Guilty. Wm. Johnson, Elizabeth Allender, and Hannah Allen der, were indicted for stealing on the 28th June a watch and various articles of wearing apparel, in the house of Mr. Wilson, at Wilsden, nobody being therein at the time. Elizabeth Arnell, with her husband, occupied two rooms in the house in question. On the 28th of June they went out at an early hour to make hay, and left their apartments locked. The eldest female prisoner resided in the same house, in a back room, and was the mother of the younger female prisoner.

BOW-STREET...(Tuis Day.) William Moore was charged by James Heard with an assault. It appeared by the evidence that the father of the boy had given 104 to the defendant to learn him the trade of a cabinet- ma k er . Wh en d e f en d ant received this sum, he was working as a journeyman, an d promised to commence business for himself. Two years how ever, had elapsed, and he had continued working as a journeymen ever since, and the only time the apprentice received instructions was after the other had left Ins shop. Moore was held to bail for the assault, and the Magistrates advised the father to mike application to the Sessions for the money to be returned and the indentures cancelled.

WRESTL t No.--An interesting lb each has been played Is itween the Connell and Devonshire men in London, which was s' Jecided en Thursday, at the Eagle Tavern, City -road. The Det vonshire men have won the first prim by bringing up Abraham Cams, ti len. Champion, the Cornish men the second, third, and • fourth p rises, and h ave made a good struggle against Cann. The . wrestler s on th e C orn i s h s i de were the least numerous, and only the mechanics li v i ng in London —none of th e n, th e crack wind ier. in : their c o u n ty ; t h e result is therefore highly honourable to them; but f or t h e b r i nging up of Cann, the very b es t ma uto be . I found in i Devonshire, they must have won the three first prises. Warren, the Cornishman, who contended with Cann for the first prize, is a miner, and was a passenger bound for South Americas on board! the brig which saved so many of the crew and gets of the Kent I n di aman, when on fire in the Bay of ritl. , Wh im the tailors, who arrived in the first boat from the 1444 refused to return on account of the weather, he seized the princi pal a f then) with a lion's grasp, and told him either to go back into the b oat or into the sea; the sailor finding resistance vain, pre ferred', the former, and re-entered the boat with the whale (Wits crew, by which means upwards of 1110 souls were *eyed. Nor was th is all; he afterwards placed himself in the main chain., at the im) ninent peril of his life, and by tbe muscular strength of his arm, wl 'lan tackle could not be used, lifted children and women, half dean' - with fear, end incapreger's wife, for whi c h h e received able of an y exer ti oa , i nto the brig , one of Which was M a j or Ill iC the their Its of the f am ily, an d a present of 160/. We are sorry to add, that ;in these violent exploits he received a hurt incidental to over-stra iced exertions. He is a very prominent featured man, al )out five feet nine or ten inches high, very powerful and 40 ) rears of age, and is father of ten children. The Cornish Commits tee, in token of their approbation of bit conduct, have made up his prize equal to that won by Cann. THE MARKETS.
